Aims: The objective of the study is to determine the demographics and the in-hospital outcome of diabetic and non-diabetic patients treated with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in Europe, to report the type of equipment and technology used for PCI procedures in diabetics and to clarify whether the treatment of diabetic patients complies with current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines. Methods and results: A total of 14,458 patients treated with PCI were enrolled from 29 member countries of the ESC between June 2005 and January 2006. Data were collected on patient characteristics and treatment, using new Cardiology Audit and Registration Data standards. In total, 3,603 patients (24.9%) were diabetic. Diabetics were older, more often female and had a higher body mass index than non-diabetics. Diabetics had higher rates of hypercholesterolaemia and hypertension, while current smokers were more frequent in the non-diabetics. Diabetics also had significantly higher rates of previous cardiovascular events. Clopidogrel was administered only in 48.1% of diabetic patients before PCI, while IIb/IIIa inhibitors were 22.9% during PCI. At discharge, there was a major adjustment of treatment with increases in the use of Beta-blocker (80.4%), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI, 71.3%) and statins (89.8%) compared with on admission (Beta-blocker 60.9%, ACEI 55.0%, statin 63.1%). Inhospital mortality was higher in diabetics (1.8% vs 1.2%) although the in-hospital MACCE rate was not significantly different (3.6% vs 3.0%, p=0.09). Conclusions: Diabetic patients treated with PCI were older with more comorbidity. According to ESC guideline, the under-usage of clopidogrel, GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors should be improved. PCI is now taken as a good opportunity to adjust the use of appropriate medication. © Europa Edition. All rights reserved.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the experience with thrombolytic therapy (TT) in the treatment of patients with the discharge diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)., Design: Retrospective analysis of the clinical records of patients with the discharge diagnosis of AMI, between May 1988 and December 1995., Setting: Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (UCIM-Medicina IV) of Santa Maria University Hospital, Lisbon, Portugal., Patients: 1319 patients, 958 men (73%) and 361 women, mean age 64 +/- 12 years., Main Results: Thrombolytic therapy was administered in 391 patients (30%). Female patients received less thrombolytic therapy compared with male (17% vs. 34%; p < 0.001). Anterior wall infarction was more frequent (38%). Patients in Killip class I-II (77%) received more thrombolytic therapy than class III-IV (33% vs. 17%). The utilization rate of thrombolytic therapy increased from 25% in 1988 to 34% in 1995. Two major categories of patients were not treated with thrombolysis: 1) patients presented more than 12 hours after pain onset (38%); 2) patients without ST segment elevation or LBBB on the ECG presented (37%). Overall hospital mortality was 15.6%. The mortality in patients receiving thrombolytic therapy was significantly lower than in those excluded (9.4% vs. 18.2%; p < 0.001)., Conclusion: Only 30% of patients with AMI receive TT. Of those excluded from this important therapeutic intervention, 75% had no ECG criteria or were outside the standard therapeutic "window". This significant group of patients need new diagnostic and intervention strategies.

- Abstract
Background: Dobutamine stress echocardiography is a very promising technique for assessing myocardial viability, ischemia and prognosis in patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction. Recent studies have shown that the type of perfusion in the infarct-related artery also plays a role in the prognosis of these patients., Purpose: To evaluated in patients with non complicated infarction the ability of low-dose and high-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography to assess the presence of both viability and inducible ischemia and correlate the results with the patency of the infarct related artery and the accuracy to predict cardiac events during one year follow-up., Patients and Methods: Fifty one consecutive in-hospital patients (47 male and four female, mean age 52 +/- 11 years, range 31-75 years) with acute myocardial infarction were evaluated both by dobutamine stress echocardiography and by coronary angiography and followed-up for a mean of 12 +/- 8 months., Results: With low-doses of dobutamine, the incidence of myocardial viability was 33% and with high-doses, the incidence of residual inducible ischemia was 41%. The patency of infarct-related artery showed significant correlation with score wall motion index for viability and for myocardial ischemia. Twenty four (47%) patients suffered cardiac events. Dobutamine stress echocardiography showed a positive predictive value of 67% and a negative of 70% and identified high and low risk patients., Conclusions: Dobutamine stress echocardiography in patients with acute myocardial infarction is a safe and well tolerated test, and provides in a single test useful information regarding viability, ischemia and prognosis.

- Abstract
The authors describe a case of Whipple's disease, characterized by arthralgias, chronic diarrhea and weight loss. The diagnosis was established on clinical, laboratorial and radiological grounds and confirmed histologically, through a duodenal biopsy. Rapid improvement occurred, soon after the beginning of antibiotic therapy.
